Place Wi-Fi calls from your iPhone

If Wi-Fi Calling is available, you’ll see Wi-Fi after your carrier name in the status bar. Then your calls will use Wi-Fi Calling.

*When cellular service is available, your iPhone uses it for emergency calls. If you turned on Wi-Fi Calling and cellular service isn't available, emergency calls might use Wi-Fi calling. Your device's location may be used to aid response efforts when you place an emergency call, regardless of whether you enable Location Services.

On Apple Watch, Wi-Fi Calling turns on when Calls on Other Devices is enabled.

If you can't add a device, check these items:

On your iPhone, make sure that Wi-Fi Calling and Allow Calls on Other Devices are on, and that your device appears under Allow Calls On.

Make sure that you're using the same Apple ID for FaceTime and iCloud on your iPhone and your other device.

Remove a device

If you don't want to use Wi-Fi Calling from one of your devices, you can remove it:

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other devices.

In the list of devices, turn off Wi-Fi Calling for the device that you want to remove.

To turn off Wi-Fi Calling on your Apple Watch, go to the Watch App on your iPhone, tap Phone, then tap Wi-Fi Calls.

Get help

If you can't turn on or use Wi-Fi Calling, make sure that your carrier offers Wi-Fi Calling and that your devices have the latest software. Then, follow these steps if you can't turn on Wi-Fi Calling or make a Wi-Fi call. Wait two minutes before you go from one step to the next.

Go to Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling and make sure that Wi-Fi Calling is on.
